No, it's not a typo. It's what my dressmaking life is about. I just keep collecting fabric, and finding patterns for them, or vice versa, but how many actual garments have I made in the last year? That would be a resounding… two. You thought I was going to say "none" didn't you! But remember my little Liberty blouse? And then I made a pair of pants? I even made a basic block back in November last year. And since then??? Nothing. Nada. Rien. Gornisht. Nothing!
Wondered why at all? Well, possibly not. I'm sure you have other things going on in your life than thinking about why I'm not making clothes for myself. So that was a silly question of course.
However… Let me show you what my sewing table looks like today:
Hmmm. Can you see how many of the piles having clothing patterns on top of them? That would be… seven. And if you count the piles that have more than one garment planned for that pattern, there are in total ten projects piled up there. I'll go through them for you…
First up, there are the two dresses I'm going to make for my upcoming trip to Israel. I figure they'll be cool, and light, and will provide coverage when I'll need it.
Next, there are the two tunics I want to make.
Now, there's the Tamotsu Mitsi Blouse I'm going to make in this divine Liberty print:
Next, there's the beautiful things I want to make with the Parson Gray Curious Nature fabrics I bought from Hawthorne Threads:
Then, there are the gorgeous Ink & Spindle fabrics for these garments…
Quite a few things. So what's holding me up? What am I waiting, waiting, waiting for??? I'm waiting for my weight to drop before I even think of cutting into any of these magnificent fabrics!
Am I crazy? I don't know. Maybe. I just think about all the work that goes into making something, and I think about the fabrics that have won my heart, and when I consider thinking about how it all will look on me, I just can't confront it, and I decide to wait so more, and I go hard at my diet that day, and possibly into the next day as well. And then, by the third day, it's all over, and I'm back in the doldrums.
so, so, SO frustrating! And I know, it's completely self-inflicted. It's not that I'm uninformed, not knowledgeable, ignorant. I know what to do. I just don't do it. And I blame things like being too tired, or too hot, or the 2-3 glasses of wine I had with dinner that made me throw all caution to the wind and order that dessert, or I blame my peri-menopausal hormones. I'm doing a fine job of maintaining my weight, so that's good to know for later on. But I'm determined to get on top of this ridiculous, unhealthy, and frankly, embarrassing problem. Thought if I went public, it might help. So I'm cutting out the sugar, cutting out the wheat, keeping to the smaller meals. You know, a palm-sized helping of protein, 2 of salads and/or veggies, only 1/2 palm of rice or muesli, etc etc etc. And I'll stick to the 1200 calories that My Fitness Pal (iPhone app) tells me I can eat. I'll do the things I know to do, in order to get the results I want to get. I really do want to wear those lovelies!
Think I'll go cut the fabric for the quilt I'm making for Moshe. The fabric arrived last week, and it's absolutely delightful. It has such a soft hand, and it's masculine without being boring. I think it'll be a really beautiful quilt. Hope he'll like it.

I have a copy of PS CS5 installed and i can only paste an image that i copied from before the program was started. When Ps is already started and I copy an image and try to paste it in PS it will paste the image I copied before I started the program not the one I just copied...
It's a pretty annoying situation... not being able to copy and paste once the program is running. I have to shut it down, start it up again to paste the image I want...
Anybody a solution?
I work on: Win 7 ultimate 64 bit - i7 - 8 gigs ram
Most folks have no problem copying and pasting into Photoshop, so it's not a systemic problem. I have an 8 GB Windows 7 x64 system, for example, and don't see the problem you are describing.
It most probably is an effect of other applications you are running. Another application is likely locking the clipboard up and preventing Photoshop from accessing it. In short, Photoshop is interacting badly with something else you are running.
Try shutting down all other applications you're running, including eMail, utilities that enhance your desktop operation, etc. You may even want to try temporarily disabling your antivirus software.
Do you run any remote sessions with other computers (e.g., via Remote Desktop or Citrix)?
It's a good idea to learn what is every single application, process, and service that's running on your computer, and why they're there. This will involve looking over the lists in the Task Manager and doing some internet research. Also, there are good freeware utilities online that can help you know what applications start when you boot up and log in, such as AutoRuns and ShellExView
Good luck.
I concur with Noel, this is an external application inetrfering with teh clipboard. Could even be some security stuff blocking the clipboard. Also, in case you are using OpenGL, such issues could indicate a configuration error, where the graphics card and driver are unable to deal with color space and color sampling conversions to provide acceleration...
Hmm, i'm pretty much aware of every single process thats running on my pc and I make shure it are only the ones I allow..
I'll test somethings out (shutting down one bye one) and report back.
I'm using openGL on a ati radeon 5850 with latest drivers... Aero is running...
I have been having the exact same issue! It has been driving me nuts. I can paste something into Photoshop CS5 only if I've copied before I open Photoshop. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit with 6 Gig RAM. This was a very recent clean install. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've been reading some additional posts on this topic, and saw someone mention that it works in Photoshop CS5 32 bit, but not in 64bit. That turns out to be correct for me -- I can get the clipboard to function properly in 32bit mode, but not in 64bit mode.
Still hopeful that the 64bit mode issue can get resolved.
As with the original poster, something else running on your system is likely locking up the clipboard.
hmmm I tried quiting every relevant process but the problem stil persists. I then tried installing PS CS5 on another (older) laptop (also 64-bit) on a Clean Win 7 installation. Core 2 duo and 4 gigs of ram.
The problem is also found on this laptop ... with no extra programs running except microsoft security essentials (but it doesn't help when i shut that down)
So... where does that leave me?
Message was edited by: JanGeloen
Even when I don't use opengl the problem is there..
I cannot begin to explain why you would see the problem on two different systems, while others (e.g., I) do not see it. I'm not trying to marginalize your problem, but it certainly isn't seen by everyone.
What are you copying FROM? Have you tried different sources?
Every source there is:
-Copy from internet using right-click menu
-using ctrl+c on any image
We've seen that problem reported, but never seen it ourselves.
Photoshop is pasting content based on what the OS says is available on the clipboard.
So something outside of Photoshop is preventing the clipboard from updating, or keeping stale data on the clipboard -- but we have no idea what that might be. Other applications or utilities might be involved, or it could be an OS issue, or (less likely) a really obscure bug in Photoshop.
The part that is confusing to me is that the clipboard works fine in 32bit, but not in 64bit. (unless the copy was done before opeing 64bit)
For example:
Start with Photoshop closed.
Copy image A.
Open Photoshop 64bit.
Do a PrintScreen.
Ctrl-N for new file.
Ctrl-V for Paste.
Image A gets pasted.
Close Photoshop 64bit.
Open Photoshop 32 bit.
Ctrl-N, Ctrl-V,
Screen Print gets pasted.
Close Photoshop 32bit.
Open Photoshop 64bit again.
Ctrl-N, Ctrl-V,
Now the Screen Print gets pasted.
It seems to me that the Clipboard is not doing anything special. Does it distinguish between 32bit applications calling for the image differently than 64bit applications? Unless I don't understand (and I'm sure I don't) how the Clipboard works, the above sequence would lead me to believe that Photoshop 64bit is the culprit.
I recently built this computer new, and the only software on it is Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, Adobe CS5, Lightroom, and Microsoft Office 2007. I have 6 Gig of Ram, and use a NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 for video. I know others are having this issue, so this is very peculiar.
Thanks for the further sleuthing...
It's not a solution to your problem, but it might be a workaround...
Why don't you open the image you want to copy in Photoshop (if it is f.e. on a website, right-click and select 'save target as...', then open in PS)?
You can then duplicate the (background)layer of the saved image into the document you are editing. If you save the image as a TIFF, there's no loss of quality...
As I said, it's not a literal solution but combined with a droplet or action it should be quite straightforward...
Thanks for the suggestion... however one of the things that I do frequently is to take a Screen Capture to the clipboard. Unfortunately other approaches (such as Microsoft Snipping Tool) are too cumbersome and require too many steps.
Not that I want you to have to live with a broken paste functionality, but consider the freeware app Irfan View for screen capture.
Run Irfan View, press C, choose what you want to capture, select a function key for the capture (or a timeout), and voila. When your window/screen is captured, it's shown in Irfan View's window and all you have to do is File - Save As.
I experience the exact same thing. To the letter... On 2 laptops.
I also regularly take screenshots regularly and this way it is just impossible to work fluently. Why does it work ok 32 bit version and not on 64?
Are you guys sure this isn't a PS 64 bug?
I really don't want to save everything I want to paste because that kinda defeats the purpose of having a clipboard.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

It's clearly a bug with something. But even though you're seeing it in multiple places, please rest assured it doesn't happen for everyone using Photoshop CS5 x64.
Shall we go about describing the differences between your systems (plural) and systems NOT experiencing the problem?
What applications do you have installed. What antivirus? What programs are starting when you boot up / log in?
Here's what's starting on my x64 system (courtesy Autoruns), on which the clipboard works just fine:
AdobeAAMUpdater-1.0 (Adobe Updater Startup Utility)
WebDriveTray (part of the WebDrive application for providing access to FTP sites via drive letters).
avast5 (Avast! Antivirus)
StartCCC (ATI/AMD's Catalyst 10.8 video driver control center)
vmware-tray (part of the VMware Workstation virtualization application)
Outlook.lnk (Outlook 2003 eMail client starts up when I log in)
ShellFolderFix.lnk (a small applet called ShellFolderFix that helps position Explorer windows when first opened)
Skype (audio/chat communications program)
WizMouse (a small applet that directs mouse wheel events to whatever app the mouse is over)
Here are my non-Microsoft shell extensions and drag/drop handlers (courtesy Autoruns and ShellExView):
ACE (AMD Desktop Control Panel, part of Catalyst 10.8 video drivers)
avast (Avast! Antivirus Shell Extension)
CirrusShellEx (provides right-click access to the Beyond Compare 3 file comparison application)
ClassicCopyExt (part of the ClassicShell application that adds enhanced dialogs to copy/move operations)
Create ISO Image from directory (part of the ISO Recorder application that provides access to ISO files)
TortoiseSVN (provides right-click access to Tortoise Subversion)
WebDrive (manages drive letters connected by the WebDrive FTP access application)
There are other things, such as services, that could be involved, but let's start by comparing your systems to these and let us know what's common between them but different from the above lists.
I'll make a list as soon as I have the time to do that.
I just want to add that while PS is running an not painting any new info that is in the clipboard, MS Paint and MS Word are pasting any new info I put in the clipboard at the moment PS 64bit is running (and not pasting any new info) . So, is it fair to say that the clipboard is still accessible and not broken and it's just PS that fails to read/access it?
Based on the listings above, your system is pretty loaded up with stuff, Nick.
Try disabling startup items systematically (especially the stuff common to multiple systems you use) and try the clipboard operations with Photoshop.
Typically, no one program kills performance, but the accumulation of a bunch of them - each of which seemed to have merit at the time - can result in a sluggish, loaded-up system with miscellaneous problems, such as those you're reporting here. Try to minimize the extra stuff you have installed to just what you really need and use.
Did you reboot after making those changes?
Yes I did. (ran msconfig) disabled everything at startup and the problem was still there after reboot
It could actually be something that needs to be uninstalled then. Clearly going down that path for debugging would be more involved, but it may be necessary to recover the functionality. I know I wouldn't be able to live without Copy/Paste working.
It may seem to you as though it's a lost cause, but again I must stress that the clipboard works for most of us.
After the step when you do a print screen and you create new. What is the image size dimensions? Are they the size of your screen? For example my screen resolution is 1680x1050.
If it is not the size of your screen resolution then the print screen did not copy the contents to the clipboard correctly.
Just a thought. Not really sure what is going on.
It's the size of the image that was in my clipboard before I opened PS.
That indicates that the print screen button did not copy the bits to the clipboard. Do you have another app that can accept the paste? I am wondering what gets pasted in another app after you do a print screen. If a different app does not paste the correct thing that indicates a hardware problem. Do you have a different keyboard you could try? If it is a laptop, try plugging in a external keyboard via USB.
I already explained this in the discussion, other apps can get to the clipboard information fine also while PS is running. It is not a keyboard issue. (I already tested with an external bluetooth keyboard).
I have been travelling on business, and have not had a chance to participate in this discussion for a few days...
For clarity, all applications correctly access the clipboard, including Photoshop 32 bit. However, Photoshop 64bit can only access the last item on the clipboard before Photoshop64 bit started.
Example: With Photoshop 64bit not opened, I copy Image A to the clipboard. I then open Photoshop 64bit. Because I opened Photoshop after putting Image A on the clipboard, it will correctly paste. Then (with Photoshop still open) I copy Image B to the clipboard. I follow that with Image C, and then Image D. All other applications can correctly access the last item on the clipboard, while Photoshop can only still access just Image A. Then if I close and re-open Photoshop, it will correcly access Image D (but not any subsequent items on the clipboard).
Again, this is only an issue with the 64bit version. Photoshop 32bit works fine with the clipboard. I know the clipboard works for some and not for others like me. Since those of us who are experiencing this isse all have different computer builds, I can't help but assume that there is some issue with Photoshop.
Yeah like I said before, exactly the same here. One question though have you ever installed or used/using a piece of software with the name: "Vista Flip 3D Activator" ? Or "Switcher" for that matter?
Many things are duplicated/replicated in a 64 bit OS, to maintain 32 bit compatibility. It's more complicated than just having "one" clipboard, for example, and so it's possible some application or piece of software could have the 64 bit clipboard tied up while the 32 bit clipboard is not. Search for "WOW64" online to get an inkling of the complexity that's been put into Windows to handle this.
In fact, that it works in one realm and not the other tends to point the finger at 64 bit software doing the bad deed, so if you're still looking for the culprit it may well be that you can concentrate more on the 64 bit apps.
In the new version of Microsoft Office (2010 edition), Word is 64 bit I guess? Can anyone confirm that? I see no *32 sign by the WINWORD.exe in task manager so I guess it's 64 bit?
If the new Word is a 64-bit application, I can say that the clipboard works flawless in the program.
Something I haven't seen in this discussion, and want to make sure of: have you installed the 12.0.1 update?
Having the same issue with Mac / Leopard. Not confined to windows. I seem to remember a FILE option called Open New Document from Clipboard that is now gone.
What haven't you seen?
Yes, my version is the updated one (12.0.1). And in another similar thread to this one, others with upgraded systems are experienceing the same problem.
OK, if you're on 12.0.1 that rules out things we already fixed in 12.0.1.
So there is some remaining 64 bit specific clipboard issue that we'll need to investigate.
But it doesn't sound like it affects everyone, everytime - so it may take a while, or may depend on other software that we don't have installed.

Our next Ladies Who… event is below. There may also be a delicious surprise dessert, but Shhhh, don't let the other ladies know. After all, it is a surprise! (Yes, I realize the irony of posting this on the world wide web and calling it a surprise. But they'll never know…winky face).
Since starting this group, it's been so great to hear about other women's stories of groups they have started or have been a part of. I just find it so important for ladies to have a strong support system, and although there are other ways to have that besides starting a social group, we are more powerful when we share each other's stories and can laugh and enjoy what it means to be a woman. Other women just continue to amaze me – what they accomplish, how they accomplish it, and just when I think I have someone nailed down and pinpointed – another facet to them is showed and unearthed. We are so complicated! I love it!
Please continue to share stories here and everywhere!
That's why I am so excited to have Kate Gover come and share her excitement for tea with our group. Here is a brief snippet about her and her passion for everything tea from her website:
Built in 1867, the Lahloo was one of the most famous tea clippers of the 19th century. So-called because of the way they "clipped" miles, clippers were built for speed and raced to bring tea from China to London. Having grown up around dockside in London, Kate Gover's great-great grandfather George Hockaday was drawn into a career as a sailor and he worked on the Lahloo as she joined the clipper races….
Embracing her love and enthusiasm for tea, Kate Gover started to formulate a plan for her own tea business in 2005. She embarked upon a mission to research everything she could about the very best tea, where it was produced, who produced it and the history behind its production.
Through her experiences, Kate discovered that the very best tea is not readily available on the open market and set about looking for tea importers in this country who shared their passion and enthusiasm. The caveat was that they had to import seasonally and direct from independent tea gardens that supported traditional growing and processing methods.
The concept for Lahloo has been born out of the knowledge and passion gathered over a decade of research, travelling, sampling, smelling and tasting.
And so comes Ladies Who…Concoct Tea Cocktails!

I do not beleive that's correct.
Note that I'm saying that the landlord-tenant law doesn't define who can be an owners agent.
You are correct that only a licensed realtor can serve more than one owner.
Hmm. Our AOAO requires that we have an on-island contact and I believe they refer to HRS 467 as the guiding rules. I will check further. Is there an attorney on board who can verify what the current requirements are as to who may serve as an on-island contact?

IANAL, but you can read 467-2 for yourself... it's fairly clear:
§467-2 Exceptions. The provisions requiring licensing as a real estate broker or
salesperson shall not apply:
(1) To any individual who, as owner of any real estate or acting under power of
attorney from the owner, performs any of the acts enumerated in the definitions of
real estate broker and real estate salesperson with reference to the real estate;
provided that the term "owner" as used in this paragraph shall not include any
individual engaged in the business of real estate development or brokerage or
include an individual who acquires any interest in any real estate for the purpose
or as a means of evading the licensing requirements of this chapter; and provided 4
further that the term individual "acting under power of attorney" as used in this
paragraph shall not include any individual engaged in the business of real estate
development or brokerage or any individual who acts under a power of attorney
for the purpose or as a means of evading the licensing requirements of this
It goes on to exempt a "caretaker" too (and caretaker" is defined up-front to be 1:1).
We are currently exempt, as owners, from requiring a licensed agent to manage our property... although the PM's will side-track you and say things like "the exemption requires a caretaker".
And, as shown previously, the on-island contact is in HRS 521... and, as explained above, refers to an "agent", but that law does not define "agent" to be "licensed real estate agent", but again, PM's will argue otherwise.
In searching 467, I can't find any instances of "on/off-island" (nothing about "island" at all) nor "without the state" (seven occurrences of "without", non pertaining to remote owners). The "on-island contact to be given to all guests" is only in the landlord-tenant law, HRS 521-43(f).
I did search all Hawaiian law for the use of "agent"... there are 1040 (ominous number!) instances of "agent", and very few have anything to do with "licensed real estate agent".
To search all the laws for any given string, Google for: "agent" site:www.capitol.hawaii.gov/hrscurrent/ ... where "agent" is the string you're searching for. Most of the "without the state" matches are part of the term "within or without the state"... HRS 567 is one of the very few laws that doesn't include the "within or" part.
As other posters have stated, the "illegal vacation rental" issue is becoming a significant part of these bills. To state that "only" tax compliance is required by Hawaii vacation rentals is in my opinion, sending the wrong message. My impression is the legislatures believe anyone who is willing to break zoning laws is most likely also breaking tax laws. I will not support RBOAA or any group who condones illegal vacation rentals. It not only violates my moral compass, but it also reflects poorly on me and our industry.
In resposnce to sjsf.....as I have posted previously.
There is significant problem with illegal vacation rentals in residential neighborhoods (not zoned for vacation rentals). This problem has been exasperated by the real estate collapse. Many residential homes in foreclosure (or behind on payments) are being illegally rented to vacationers as a stop-gap measure to produce income. As you can imagine the neighbors are very unhappy. The homes are falling into disrepair and being illegally rented to tourists, disturbing their neighborhood, and violating zoning laws.
These citizens are rightfully angry and want something done. They will support any measure that appears to address this issue.
The problem is that these bills lump illegal vacation rentals in the same group as law abiding, tax paying owners of condos in hotel zones.
It is our job to let the Hawaiian people know we agree with their complaints against illegal rentals, and support paying our GE and TA taxes, but that the current set of bills will have severe negative economic consequences on the State's Tourism and Real Estate market.
The legislator has done a good job of muddying the water on these issues. They are effectively spraying machine gun fire into a crowd of law abiding citizens in a misguided attempt to hit a few bad guys.
The majority of voters in Hawaii will only take note when they think it will effect their pocketbooks.
I like your analogy, islandadventures, that
They are effectively spraying machine gun fire into a crowd of law abiding citizens in a misguided attempt to hit a few bad guys.
There is no proof that the "non-residents" are the non-tax paying problem, and I've posted several times that the zoning issue problem and illegal TVRs are probably more the root of the problem (or, potentially, cash-accepting on-island residents). But no matter which, this solution will not provide an increase in taxes. The letter from your HOA asserting that this is a "a tax information sharing program between the state Department of Taxation and the Counties " is funny because this will result in an increase in governmental bureaucracy and HOA requirements. I see more taxes and fees in order for the HOA to report to the County and the County to report to the DOT. In addition, creating these laws is NOT going to make offenders jump on the compliance bandwagon.
The DOT needs to be empowered with the ability to enforce their laws, which may include expanding their powers (some of their previous testimony has said they cannot look into tax records due to privacy laws) and enabling them to staff for enforcement. I see a short term budget imbalance, paid back by increased revenues through the additional enforcement staff.
The tax issue needs to be separated from the "point of contact" issue in a bill so that we can clearly discuss the privacy rights of our on-island representative. While I am available 24/7, and I can call my service people and have them respond just as easily as my on-island contact, I am happy to "concede" this over having to have a property manager. However, I should not have to put this person's name in my advertising.
message just received from RBOAA....
HB2078 and SB2947 have both been received back to originating houses and they have both been disagreed with. Which means that they will go to Conference.
Conference committees will be set up with Chairs and committee members from each house. They will meet and try to make the bills satisfy both houses if they cannot agree the bills will die. If they do agree they will go to the governor.
So you ask where does that put us? We have no idea what the bills may end up looking like. From now on it is a closed door negotiation and we must continue to try and educate the legislation that the contents in these bills are not appropriate for all the various reasons we have stated before.
Alicia will be traveling to Hawaii on behalf of all of us next week and will meet with as many Senators and Representatives as she can. She will also be meeting the Small Business Regulatory Review Board and seek their assistance.
We will continue to our efforts with phone calls, emails and faxes. We will update you with further details next week and we may need you to take quick action once again.
If any of you are on the islands or plan on being there in the next couple weeks, please try and meet face to face with the legislators.
Fight On!
Team RBOAA
The problem I see is that most of the postings on this site are logical responses to the issues stated in the bills. However, the conclusion that I keep returning to after the legislators have continued to ignore rational suggestions, is that the real issue is not taxes. The real issue is that they have they have constituents such as property managers and unions that would like to put us our of business. They are only using taxes as the stated reason, while the real reason is we are competition and the property managers cannot compete effectively.
who says rboaa supports anything illegal? You seem to be coming to conclusions not supported by any facts and that is not helpful at all.
from my iPad
I don't disagree with you that what seems to behind these measures does not have to do with the publicly stated reason "taxes", our challenge is that all we can deal with 'publicly' is "taxes". we are not privvy to the private discussions between politicians and their constituents or special interests who may have a larger role in this election year.
And, we can all agree that we do in fact support having local contacts and paying taxes. So while this may fall on some deaf ears, ie any politicians who are not really concerned about taxes, we can at least support the principles that the casual reader of these bills would seem to think they are crafted to address - payment of taxes and retaining a local contact. We do not have other options in how we address the legislators.
I agree with alohaes that it's important to focus on the specific issues. But jwe is also right. We need to specifically address the political issue.
In particular, the politicians who will make these decisions in the next week need to be reminded that the Unions and the Property Managers are not their only constituents. If these bills pass in their current form, they will have a severe negative impact on tourism and depress property values. That affects everyone on the islands. And when that message gets out - along with the fact that some politicans decided to trade the interests of the many for a favored few - it's not going to help them in their re-election campaigns.
I have fought with the legislation successfully, on several occasions over the last few years. There is but one way to win this: in the media. The local outer island voters have only one way to know what is going on in Oahu: the newspaper. You need to be hitting all of the islands newspapers "letters to the editor". It is the most read page after the front page. That is where we need to be sending our info. If all of the businesses and people that we employ know they are about to lose our business, and the business of our guests, then it is personal to them. I have been down this road and its the only way. The legislators don't care about being legal, they don't care about us and they are ignorant about economy.
Go to the papers en masse.
i agree. We just need to make certain that we do not loose sight of what their real goals are
excellent point.
So we all know what to do
Each of us should write letters to the editor for the island where our individual property is located

I can see where a previously made statement was misconstrued as RBOAA supports illegal vacation rentals (or, at least supports legislation to ease restrictions and make some currently illegal rentals legal). I can't find that post today, so it must have been deleted, or I was misinterpreting.
I think it is very wise to have the HVROA focus on "easing current restrictions" on its own, while the RBOAA focuses on "losing our right to manage our own property", and safe and secure methods of informing guests of local contacts, and ways for DoTax to more readily/effectively catch tax cheats without excessive regulatory burden. By keeping these foci separate, RBOAA membership can rest easy that they are not supporting anything currently illegal, and be able to differentiate itself when locals complain that we're supporting illegal rentals.
Of course, if these bills are passed, then the RBOAA will find itself supporting "easing of current laws" requiring PM's, etc..., and could then be construed as supporting what will then be illegal activity.

Young learners love to talk that's what I have experienced and they love to share incidents and their imaginary characters, so its good to ask them after telling the story if they have something similar to share with their peers.
This is a great start to a tutorial on how to teach English and prompting children to pay attention in class. Getting the attention of children may just be the toughest part of teaching.
Sometimes students at a very young age are a little bit more active than the children in the video, might be the age might be cultural, so I had to learn to adapt the techniques to the group I am teaching at the moment. Getting to know your audience preferences helps a lot.
I agree, the audience makes the difference. I've put some acting while Im telling stories, they feel part of it and helps you to keep their attention.
Story telling is a great tool for teaching!
Every single Friday I tell a story to my students. They really love that time, though not always the stories are about what we are studing (because i haven't got enough stories) it's still usefull as they can enjoy a beautiful story and also have fun in the classroom.
As you do, Mila, I also act out a little. I work in a bilingual school and English is not our mother tongue, so there are many words that my students don't know but by seeing it they can grasp the meaning of every new word or expression. And as you said, it also makes them feel as if they are part of the story, becuase it goes beyond the limits of the 'book'. But be careful of not to make your story telling session a drama session.
It's pretty useful to practice your story many times before presenting it, so that you can see how much you can add and in which parts.
Story telling is always a magnificent tool but we should know how to use it.
Thank you very much Bitish Council for such a clear video. It's highly comprehensible and to the point!!! Thank you Very Much!!!
I do agree. storytelling is a great way to keep the children concentrated and involve them into conversations where they can easily express themselves and interact with each-other as well.
good usage of hands, it helps them to understand

The iPhone is set to be cut to £169 as part of a limited offer, O2 confirmed today.
The £100 reduction, which will apply to the 8GB device on all O2 iPhone tariffs, will take place tomorrow (Wednesday) and will run until 1 June.
It follows T-Mobile's decision to reduce the price of the handset from £315 to £78 in Germany.
With price cuts and iPhone stock reportedly running low and not being replenished in the US, France and UK, speculation is mounting about the release date of the 3G version of the device.
The price reduction follows O2's decision to increase the minutes and texts included in its £35 a month tariffs to 600 minutes and 500 texts in, up from 200 minutes and 200 texts.
An O2 spokesman said: 'The special offer will make the iPhone an unbeatable proposition in the market, helping O2 to further gain market share.'
The 16GB iPhone will not be included in the offer, and will remain £329.

Pros – It's a comfortable pace, you get to work around a music minded environment, helping people find the newest Celine Dion album is ultra rewarding.
Cons – Minimum wage jobs suck. You are in a busy mall over the holidays earning only enough money to get yourself home on the bus and if lucky a meal while you are there.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep on doing what you do... taking advantage of consumers with your overpriced, outdated technology.

I like all types it depends on what I have a craving for at the moment. Years ago I wanted to try all different types and I tried to get my husband to try foods from different ethnic regions starting with A and working through to Z. Unfortunately he is not as adventurous as I am. To him Mexican is Taco, Italian is Pizza or pasta.
I'm Hungarian and my favorite food is Eastern Europe cuisine.But I do love Mexican,Italian,Chinese and Japanese cuisine also.

According to USA Today, Donald Driver "is leaning toward" retirement and could make an announcement early next week. Driver's agent, Jordan Woy, returned a message from Packer Report but would not comment on his client's future.
Driver is the Packers' career leader in receptions and receiving yards and ranks among the game's elite in both categories. He's tied with Andre Rison for 37th in NFL history with 743 receptions. That's seven fewer than Hall of Famers Charlie Joiner and Michael Irvin. He's 38th with 10,137 receiving yards, or 130 from passing Hall of Famer Lance Alworth for 35th.
For years, Driver has said he wanted to play until he was 40. He'll turn 38 on Feb. 2. After catching just eight passes this season, he told Packer Report that he had no doubt he could contribute – whether it was for the Packers or another team. His hometown of Houston could use another receiver. So could Miami, where former Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin is head coach, and Dallas, where former Packers receivers coach Jimmy Robinson is on the Cowboys staff.
"I feel like I can play anywhere. It doesn't matter where I play," Driver said. "I've always said I'd never want to play for another organization. It's going to be a tough decision I have to make. If teams are calling and I have to make a decision to go somewhere else, then I'll have to make that decision."
Meanwhile, in Honolulu, center Jeff Saturday said the Pro Bowl might be his final game.
"As soon as this game is over, we'll make that final call," the 37-year-old Saturday told reporters after Thursday's NFC practice.
Saturday signed a two-year free-agent deal with the Packers as the replacement for Scott Wells. However, he was benched late in the season in favor of the younger, stronger Evan-Dietrich Smith.
Saturday's $7.75 million deal includes a roster bonus of $1.4 million that's due in mid-March as well as a $1.35 million base salary.
Saturday (211 and six) and Driver (205 and three) have combined to play in 416 regular-season games and were named to nine Pro Bowls.

Way back from Chile, in South America. I am a baseball fan since 1990 and love American sport history, but never heard of this episode before. Sounds like wonderful once in a lifetime story about what happen when you give what really the audience want. I rather want to hear this sort of very rare social catarsis than players on drugs. Oh boy how I would like to jump onto old Yankee Stadium and give a hell of a fight to A-Fraud. Take that for Madonna and this is for Biogenesis, 3000 hits you SOB... Sure I would take the worst part after a tons of beer, but with some other 5 guys should be epic.
A mistake by the lake: Remembering the 10-cent Beer Night riot
Tuesday marks the 39th anniversary of one of the more colorful — or dubious, depending on your (in)take — events in baseball history: the 10-Cent Beer Night Riot. On June 4, 1974, a promotion at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium went awry, producing one of the rare instances in modern major league history where umpires ruled a game as a forfeit.
That night, 25,134 paying customers showed up to Municipal Stadium, about twice the Indians' season average. The marquee attraction at the cavernous ballpark wasn't the matchup between two .500-ish teams, the Rangers and Indians, but rather the Cleveland front office's ploy to goose attendance by offering customers of drinking age 10 ounces of Stroh's beer for 10 cents. For some reason, common sense took a vacation, as even a Cleveland Press pregame writeup gleefully proclaimed, "Rinse your stein and get in line. Billy the Kid and his Texas gang are in town and it's 10-cent beer night at the ballpark.'"
Tensions already ran high between the two teams because six days earlier in Texas, the Rangers' Lenny Randle had set off a bench-clearing brawl by giving a forearm shove to a pitcher fielding his bunt and then crashing into the first baseman, having already slid overly hard into second base earlier in the game. Rangers fans threw beer on Indians players during the scrum, thus priming the pump for what ensued in Cleveland.
Aided by a poorly-considered purchase limit of six cups of beer at a time, many fans were already inebriated prior to first pitch, and a circus-like atmosphere prevailed. In the second inning, a woman jumped into the Indians' on-deck circle and lifted her shirt. In the fourth, a completely naked man slid into second base while the Rangers' Tom Grieve circled the bases after homering, and in the fifth, a father-son pair mooned the crowd after jumping over an outfield wall. Late in the game, fans climbed onto the field and pestered Rangers rightfielder Jeff Burroughs, some even shaking his hand.
Amid that chaos, Texas took a 5-3 lead into the bottom of the ninth, but Cleveland rallied for two runs via four consecutive hits off reliever Steve Foucault and a sacrifice fly. With two outs and two men still on base, Indians' slugger Leron Lee (uncle of recent major leaguer Derrek Lee) never had a chance to drive in the winning run, because Cleveland fans pelted the field with golf balls, rocks and batteries, and some fan swiped Burroughs' glove. When the rightfielder chased him back to the stands, people began swarming into the outfield, surrounding the Rangers' star outfielder and ending any hope for the completion of the game.
Dodging several flying chairs, Texas manager Billy Martin grabbed a bat and led his team on a rescue mission to rightfield. "The bat showed up later and it was broken," recalled Rangers player Mike Hargrove. Umpire Nestor Chylak, hit by both a chair and a rock, ruled that the game should be forfeited in favor of the Rangers. "They were just uncontrollable beasts," said Chylak later of the crowd. "I've never seen anything like it except in a zoo."
The forfeit stands as one of four since 1954. On Sept. 30, 1971, the Senators forfeited to the Yankees in what turned out to be their final game in Washington when fans stormed the RFK Stadium field, and one stole first base. On July 12, 1979, the White Sox held a Disco Demolition Night between games of a doubleheader against the Tigers, blowing up a crate of records but leaving the field in unplayable condition, that after fans had hurled records onto the field and at each other during the opener. On Aug. 10, 1995, the Dodgers forfeited a game to the Cardinals when the baseballs they handed out as a pregame promotion were thrown onto the field following the ejections of Raul Mondesi and manager Tommy Lasorda over a disputed strike call.
The definitive account of the beer riot was written by gonzo journalist Mike Shropshire in the hilarious memoir of his stint covering the Rangers in the mid-1970s, Seasons in Hell. Writing about the fiasco on the occasion of its 30th anniversary at my blog, The Futility Infielder, I cherrypicked some of my favorite lines from his seven-page account that help detail the surreal tableau:
On the commuter train from Hopkins Airport into downtown it became clear that something really special — or at least different — was looming at the ballpark on 10-Cent Beer Night. At each stop the train was filling with young people obviously headed for the game to take advantage of the promotion. Everybody was wearing Indians baseball caps and Indians batting helmets. As a court-certified expert on brain abuse, it was my educated guess that most of these fans were already loaded on Wild Turkey and whatever medicine it is that truck drivers take to stay awake on long hauls. Their condition suggested that they might be on their way home from, and not on their way to, a 10-cent Beer Night game.
…If it is true the decade of the Seventies was earmarked by behavioral residue of the spirit of the late Sixties, then Beer Night in Cleveland was the archetypal illustration of what all of that was to represent.
…When the game reached the bottom of the ninth inning, the temperament of the crowd became strikingly like that of Billy Martin when he reached his hour of belligerence in the cocktail lounge. What had been a largely congenial gathering turned combative. Woodstock had become Kent State.
…From my safe haven in the pressbox I was delighted by the entire spectacle since my dispatch to the newspaper back in Texas would offer something out of the ordinary and I figured that the players' post-game quotes might not be as clichéd as usual.
…When I talked to the Rangers, most of them appeared rather shaken by what they had clearly regarded as an ordeal. Billy Martin was predictably verbose. "We got hit with everything you can think of," Martin recounted with an air of seeming wonderment. "Chairs were flying down out of the upper deck. Cleveland players were fighting their own fans. First they were protecting the Rangers and then they were fighting to protect themselves. Somebody hit Tom Hilgendorf [Indians pitcher] with a chair and cut his head open."
…About a dozen players were in the bar when I got there. One — Burroughs — pulled me aside. "Hey," he wondered, "do the stats count in a forfeit? I hope not. I went 0-for-4, but the marijuana smoke was so thick out there in rightfield, I think I was higher than the fans."
Sadly for Burroughs, the stats did count, though he was actually only 0-for-3 with a walk. Fortunately, he recovered to hit .301/.397/.504 with 25 homers and 118 RBIs en route to the AL MVP award.
I can't recommend Shropshire's book highly enough, as it's quite possibly the funniest baseball tome in history, eclipsing even Ball Four. Imagine Hunter S. Thompson as a beat reporter for a lousy but eminently colorful ballclub managed at times by Whitey Herzog and Billy Martin, brains a-fryin' in the Texas heat, the fire only put out by copious quantities of beer and cocktails. Nearly a decade ago, I suggested somebody make it into a movie, and my plea stands.
when I saw the headline of the story, I first thought it was going to be disco demolition night. Crazy. Gonna get that Rangers book though
Ah, the 1970s! Definitely the greatest decade. They knew how to riot back then.
Three best phrases: "10 ounces of Stroh's beer for 10 cents," "purchase limit of six cups of beer at a time," and "a woman jumped into the Indians' on-deck circle and lifted her shirt." A "movie," you write? Can't do it. Only the late, greats John Belushi and Chris Farley could fill the bill as the Cleveland crowd ring-leaders.

James Madison men's basketball will face Northeastern for the second time this season when the Dukes travel to Boston on Wednesday for a 7 p.m. game at Matthews Arena.
In their last game, the Dukes snapped a four-game losing streak with a 58-56 victory over the College of Charleston, improving to 7-13 overall and 2-4 in CAA play. In the game's opening minutes, both teams exchanged a series of 6-0 runs, resulting in the Cougars obtaining the early 12-6 lead. JMU then proceeded to double Charleston's scoring the remainder of the half to have the 28-23 advantage at the break. CofC tied the game near the halfway mark of the second half, but 10 straight points by freshman guard Jackson Kent put JMU on top for the remainder of the game.
Kent, who was selected as the CAA Rookie Player of the Week for his performance, led the Dukes with 17 points and five rebounds. Sophomore guards Andre Nation and Ron Curry also posted double-figures with Nation scoring 15 in addition to six boards, three assists and two blocks while Curry added 12 points, three assists and a steal.
In their last outing, the Huskies (7-14, 4-3 CAA) rallied from behind to defeat Hofstra 70-57, marking their third win in four games. After trailing the entire game, Northeastern scored 10 consecutive points with 15 minutes remaining to take its first lead of the night. NU then proceeded to outscore Hofstra 32-13 within the game's final 15 minutes to claim the victory. Junior guard Demetrius Pollard led all players with 25 points to go with six assists and two steals. Junior forward Scott Eatherton, CAA Co-Player of the Week and the nation's leader in double-doubles, added 18 points and seven rebounds, while sophomore guard David Walker accumulated an additional 10 points and three assists.
When JMU and NU met earlier this season in a rematch of last year's CAA Championship, NU took home the 56-52 victory. The Huskies grabbed command with the early 10-0 lead and held the Dukes off for the rest of the game. The Dukes put together a second-half rally but never got closer than one point.

My dip has all the flavor of the original, but it's much easier on the waistline. I prefer to eat this "dip" with a fork or raw vegetables.

I know this one sounds a little strange, but give it a try; it's a great source of protein. The sweetness of the roasted garlic pairs really nicely with the feta, and the egg yolk binds all of the flavors into one cohesive package. If you're squeamish about undercooked eggs or can't eat egg yolks, this probably isn't the recipe for you as I've tried it with the egg cooked differently and never found it as good.
